Sometimes, indeed, Apple's ads for movies and TV series are so aggressive that it feels like you're literally being “forced” to watch - as was the case with their “Severance” series.
📰 Apple sent out an ad to some iPhone users in the form of a Wallet app push notification – movie ticket company Fandango is offering on a pair of tickets to Apple's new film "F1: The Movie."
🤬 iPhone users who received the notifications have complained about it across Reddit, 𝕏, and other online discussion platforms. Some people are especially upset about receiving a push notification ad through the Wallet app because it is a very important app for personal finances, so simply turning off notifications for the entire app is not a feasible solution.
ℹ️ iOS 26 beta adds an "Offers & Promotions" toggle to the Wallet app, allowing users to opt in or out of receiving special offers and discounts available from Apple and its unspecified partners. However, Apple sent out to the push notification ad to iPhone users on iOS 18 too, and those users seemingly did not explicitly opt in to receive such an ad. For that reason, some people are disappointed in Apple.
